Wherever we see the Word of God purely preached and heard, there a church of God exists, even if it swarms with many faults.

We ought always to beware of making the smallest claim for ourselves.

Faith alone saves, but the faith that saves is not alone.

The flesh is willing to flatter itself, and many who now give themselves every indulgence, promise to themselves an easy entrance into life. THus men practice mutual deception on each other and fall asleep in wicked indifference.

It is a sign of a perverse and treacherous disposition to wound the good name of another, when he has no opportunity of defending himself.

We are surrounded by God’s benefits. The best use of these benefits is an unceasing expression of gratitude.

We are nowhere forbidden to laugh, or be satisfied with food...or to be delighted with music or to drink wine.
